Hood Exhaust Duct
Outside ventilation requires hood exhaust duct. Use only
metal duct. Read the following carefully.
Exhaust Connection: Hood exhaust has been designed
to mate with standard 3 1/4 inch x 10 inch rectangular duct.
If round duct is required, rectangular-to-round transition
adaptor must be used. Do not use less than 6 inch
diameter duct.
Rear Exhaust: If rear or horizontal exhaust is to be used,
care should be taken to align exhaust with space between
studs.
Maximum Duct Length: Total duct length of 3 1/4 inch x
10 inch rectangular or 6 inch diameter round duct should
not exceed 140 equivalent feet for satisfactory air
movement.
Elbows, Transitions, Wall and Roof Caps, Etc.
Elbows, transitions, wall and roof caps, etc., create
additional resistance to airflow and are equivalent to a
section of straight duct. When calculating total duct length,
add equivalent lengths of all transitions and adaptors, plus
length of all straight duct sections. Chart below shows
approximate feet of equivalent length of some typical
ducts.
